शेखावाटी क्षेत्र (राजस्थान) में पर्यटन पद्धतियों के माध्यम से सतत् विकास एवं सांस्कृतिक समाजीकरणः एक विश्लेषणात्मक अध्ययन

डॉ. ममता कुमारी (Dr. Mamta Kumari)

सतत विकास केवल पर्यावरण संरक्षण तक सीमित नहीं है, बल्कि इसमें आर्थिक व्यवहार्यता और सामाजिक-सांस्कृतिक समरसता भी शामिल है। वहीं दूसरी ओर, सांस्कृतिक समाजीकरण वह प्रक्रिया है जिसके माध्यम से स्थानीय समुदाय अपनी सांस्कृतिक धरोहरों का संरक्षण करते हुए बाहरी दुनिया (पर्यटकों) के साथ अंतःक्रिया करता है। यह शोध पत्र इस बात का गहन विश्लेषण करता है कि कैसे शेखावाटी की स्वदेशी और समकालीन पर्यटन पद्धतियां (जैसे- कम्युनिटी होमस्टे, एग्रो-इको टूरिज्म, और हेरिटेज वॉक) न केवल क्षेत्र का आर्थिक उत्थान कर रही हैं, बल्कि वैश्विक और स्थानीय समाजों के बीच एक गहरा सांस्कृतिक सेतु भी स्थापित कर रही हैं।
